The child who had undergone surgery last night had made it through the danger period and could now be left in other people's care. Gao Ming, who hadn't slept all night, strapped on his back basket early the next morning, woke Xu Huo and the painted woman, and set off toward the canyon again.
"Don't you want to rest a little?" Xu Huo asked with concern.
"Though I'm not a Player, I've taken Evolution Potion developed for ordinary people, so I'm in pretty good shape," Gao Ming said. "You don't need to worry."
They didn't call for the young Player. The three of them left the village before it was fully light.
"Doctor Gao, if I'm not mistaken, you used Spatial Evolution to treat the child. You're not a Player, so could you evolve a second time just by taking a few Evolution Potions?" Xu Huo asked sincerely. "You don't have to answer if it's inconvenient."
Gao Ming waved a hand. "There's nothing I can't talk about. It's no secret."
"My situation is rather unusual. Maybe heaven took pity on me. When I left my homeland because of the war, my wife was badly injured, but we'd lost all our medicine and surgical tools. No matter how hard I tried, it was useless."

"We were lucky. The operation actually worked." Gao Ming smiled, but soon sighed. "Unfortunately, my wife's health was poor after that, and she died of illness within a couple of years."
"My condolences," Xu Huo said.
"Time has passed. I don't dwell on it anymore," Gao Ming
